Need help from Amazon 🐠 Anyone interviewed for Amazon L5 BIE in GSF supply chain team? The JD said basic qualifications include data modeling, ETL, data warehousing and optimization. Any idea or experience how they will test these topics? Asking about related experience? Or show some data and ask how you will deal with that? Or like a case study, given a senario and ask how you think in order to tackle problem? Need advice/idea/experience urgently. Thanks in advance.Amazon @BIE
Lost and honestly depressed😔

What laptop do other firms use?
This is my first time working with a client using the COSO framework. Before elevating my inquiry to my seniors, I would like to confirm my understanding of how this exercise works.
Prior working papers are telling me that client should establish its compliance with the five components of the framework, correct? How rigid should I be in performing this?
To be fair, I was provided with a reading material but it’s a pretty hefty read.
Thanks for any responses!

You're a staff, everything you do is easy. Would you rather not be acknowledged at all? If they are only complimenting you on the real basics, then you probably aren't doing very well.
Uh.......yeah.....nooooooo
I usually will say great job on a simple task when I think that person is sensitive to feedback and could use encouragement.
The fact that you are offended by something that minor makes me believe you would fall into that category.
It’s so we don’t feel bad telling you how shitty you did on the other things

No, I have a pretty low self esteem so I can use all the help
My wife said the same thing to me last night after I changed the light bulb.
Damned if I do, damned if I don’t
Common sense is not a given. I genuinely do mean it when I say it.
I’m a new Staff with no experience, so I appreciate being told I did a good job on tasks even if they’re simple bc I’ve never done them before... How will I know I’m doing even a simple task correctly if I don’t get feedback?
I do it to make up for all the bad managers/directors that only yell and complain at their teams. I also believe the more positive feedback should boost the confidence of the team to reinforce that they can arrive at the right conclusions without me having to approve every detailed task.
You’d be surprised how many people screw up simple tasks. If you listened to direction and executed well, it is a job well done regardless of how easy you may think it was. Not everyone finds these things so easy.
Thank you for saying this!!
We’re just trying to stand by all the Language of Appreciation sessions we had to lead and express words of affirmation.... From our viewpoint everything a staff does is easy. It takes the senior a longer time and more effort to coach an associate and then review their work and provide feedback vs doing it themselves.
This is a profession which sucks at showing appreciation and is great at telling you that you suck at your job (just look at the inspections). I’d take the positive reinforcements if you get any.
On another hand, if all they tell you is you did a good job, and give you a bad review, then you’d have grounds for asking why. As you can no doubt see via a half hearted search or this place, that happens a lot too.
No lol
So long as it’s not a backhanded compliment.
Sounds like someone got their timesheet right this week🥇
They did a GREAT job
No good deed goes unpunished.
always appreciate a compliment no matter how simple the task is. Sometimes, the task maybe more complex than what it sounded like
I would treasure the moments when someone tells you good job - it could mean you really did well on something that’s tricky, or it’s just a way of saying thank you. At a minimum it means the work you did was noticed. Very rarely is someone trying to be sarcastic or offensive when they say that. As you rise up in the firm you don’t get told good job or thank you nearly as much.
It’s better than not being praised for doing difficult things for Partners as you progress up the ranks..
Sometimes it’s not about how hard the task was too. I know I will tell associates great job because I asked them to do something and they got it done and took it off my plate, worked through it themselves without asking questions before trying to figure it out. Or if they did ask questions they were good valid questions. I’ve worked with some great new people and I’ve worked with some that were lazy, didn’t try, fell asleep at work because they couldn’t be bothered to not stay up all hours of the night, couldn’t follow simple directions, or literally wouldn’t listen to anything you tell them, because you aren’t a partner, and they’re “above you”. It might not seem like much to you, but you haven’t seen the perspective of the person giving you the complement.
